'Bachelor in Paradise' finale: How to watch the final episode of Season 9, release date

After weeks of sparks, chemistry, love triangles and heartbreaks, it almost time for the final episode of Season 9 of "Bachelor in Paradise."

"With limited time left on the sands of Mexico, will the remaining couples finish out Paradise with an engagement or will their connections crumble like sandcastles?" says ABC about the finale.

The network has also teased the first-ever "Paradise" wedding during the season finale.

A spin-off of the "The Bachelor," "Bachelor in Paradise" takes contestants from previous seasons of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” and gives them another chance at finding love on the small screen.

Contestants, a lot of them "Bachelor" nation fan-favorites, are invited to a beachfront villa in Mexico, where they spend about three weeks dating each other in search of their perfect matches.
